Retaking tests

Find out what you need to do to retake a test.

It may take up to 48 hours for a QTS skills test result to upload onto the TDA database; during this time you will be unable to book a skills test in that subject area. Once you feel ready to retake a test you will need to log in to your account and book in the usual way.

It is advised, however, that you leave sufficient time to prepare for your retake before booking your next test.

If you do not pass your test, please ensure that you read through the 'before taking your next test' handout. You should be offered this after each unsuccessful skills test, but it is also available by selecting one of the links below.

As well as the resources available within the TDA website, candidates can request support from their training provider.
